HEC decentralization
1- the number of HEC produced scholars are 3000 so far. most scholars belong to impoverished families. Had the HEC part of provincial administration the scholarships would not have been awarded on merit.
2- There is also digital library connect with all universities .it provides 23000 international journals and 45000 textbooks from 202 international publishers , an achievement of HEC.
3- The devolution will deprive us of billions of dollars which could be provided because of HEC.
4- We could lose the credibility of our degrees once the HEC is devolved. The federation would lose its hol on education.
Achievement:

2- in 2002 only 59 universities were in the country now there are 132.
3-enrolement in higher education has doubled.
4-since 2001 over 5000 students have been given scholarships for higher education.
5- the no of PHD’s granted in Pakistan since 2003 are now almost equal to total amount of PHD’s granted in Pakistan since 1947.
6-research output has increased 6 fold since 2002, and nearly 97 billion have been pumped in higher education since 2002, as compared to 7.5 billion from 1978 to 2002.
7-the verification of degrees made the HEC a model institution at home and abroad.
8-even in the developed federal countries like Switzerland and Russia , there are still central institutions which coordinate policy and funding. While in US and germany the higher education is fully devolved
